Hey guys, so sorry its taken so long to post on here. Had severe probs with photobucket , and was unable to upload pics, but seem to have sorted the problem.
First let me do a little recap: Geoff and I arrived at the hotel around 2pm, after a 5 1/2 hour drive , dumped our stuff and headed straight to the BiC to meet up with Alicia, and a few other girls.
When we arrived it was like heaven.....although behind very closed doors, we could hear some rehearsing being done, it sounded amazing and it was music to my ears when MiG started singing.
We hung around for about 20 minutes, then thought we better leave before we get kicked out for stalking . Alicia, Geoff and I went for some lunch and a well needed drink to calm the nerves.
We got down to the venue around 6.30pm and was having pre show drink when MiG walked by, he came over and it was hello's and hugs and kisses for all, he stayed for about 5 minutes then went to get ready for the show.
Friday's show was great, but Saturdays ROCKED!!!! the music was better, the lighting and the atmosphere was superb, and even a little dancing was done!!. After both shows we were able to go backstage into the musicians room (after they cleared out their instruments) and was able to spend some time with MiG, at first it was a little daunting as the Meet and Greet was in a group, and not on a personal one to one, so Friday night everyone was a bit shy (I know you are all thinking ..Wend Shy?, when it comes to something like that YES!!). Saturday night went with more of an interview feel and questions came from all directions, (we have a video of the the interview, which I believe is about 17 mins long, but have been asked by MiG , not to show it at the moment due to personal reasons , nothing to worry about, just something he does not want to be on the internet yet!).
ooppsss did i say earlier a LITTLE recap..sorry!! nearly finished .
We were lucky enough to have had a chance to see MiG again while having coffee at the BiC, on Saturday afternoon, and again he spent sometime with us before going to see a bit of the Thriller Show in the opposite theater, and said he was looking forward to meeting up again later.
He came in for Saturdays meet and greet with THE HAT on (you know the one...the famous Tea Cosy from Eight Mile), which kinda went missing for about 20 minutes. Yeah...I tried so hard to get rid of it for you guys, but unfortunately he noticed when it was time for him the leave, that his hat was missing, so sadly had to give it back ,asking him nicely not to wear it at Eight Mile as Christina's photos are just not the same . He laughed and said he would make sure he wore it now for EVERY show, then he kissed me and I said, OK, wear it when you like..Boy am I a Sucker.
So Christina ...if he has the hat on on Thursday...you can say...mmm, I see Wend failed in her mission *Wink*.
OK enough rambling...now time for some pics.....Tho not too many from the show. I really need to stop being a goody goody when they say no pics or videos when everyone else was flashing around me, it was just our luck we were in the eyeline of the usher!!!
Why do I look like a Cheshire Cat
Love this one, the first I have with the 3 of us
They look good together LOL
Could not smile, he was leaving soon!!
No way am I letting go!!
